Nope.

I don’t have any mods or CC in my game.

And those sims have jobs because you created them yourself or downloaded them from the gallery with jobs already, right?
Then that is really odd. I have never had this happened to me as far as I can remember. It must be some sort of bug, sorry I can't be more helpful.

Actually, no. The Sims that I’m talking about are premade.

For instance, Mortimer Goth comes in the game with a career as a writer (I know this because I just know). But if I play with another household for too long and I decide that I want to play the Goths for the first time, by the time I get there Mortimer has probably quit his job to become a doctor or something.

Am I making sense?

Yes you are ;)
I never play or paid attention to premades' jobs but the game shouldn't have any sort of story progression like that, I don't think the issue is by design.

But I swear I don’t use mods or custom content (I’m wayyy too paranoid) so I really don’t know what’s going on there.

Before I got into mods, one of my sims was an athlete, then I marked him as unplayed and he became a writer. I noticed this once with one premade, when Moira Fyres, unemployed, decided to become a politician :D

YES! Exactly! Thank heavens it isn’t only me lol

For clarification, do I have to mark them as played to prevent them from losing their jobs or do I just have to move them to My Housholds?

Thanks!

Yes, select the heart symbol and mark them as played. The household should then move to your My Households tab and count against your allotted 150 sims. You don't actually have to play them.

Thanks. I tried doing that, and I noticed that a household cannot be marked as Played and in Other Households at the same time. Because they are automatically marked as Unplayed when moved to Other Households.

What are the consequences of having more than 150 Sims in My Households?

I do apologise. I just got up when I posted. I'll try again :)

You DO have to play them if you want to prevent the game from changing their careers. You don't have to play them any length of time as long as you go into live mode with the household. This will move the household into My households and darken the plumbomb. Their careers will become fixed.

I believe 150 played sims is a hard limit in an unmodded game. You can't play any more sims after that limit is reached. These played sims in my households will not get culled by the game.

The game can do pretty much what it likes to any sims in Other Households. I am not 100% sure, but if the game doesn't find suitable sims in there for a needed role, the it will generate sims. Once another cap is reached (800 sims, I think), then the game will remove some sims, but not from My Households.

The game do use premade Sims for careers like doctors, scientists, cops and other active careers
